Your answers to this 3 min questionnaire will gauge general sentiment in the industry and greatly assist the organizers of the AAPG GTW on Well Planning and Delivery in Unprecedented Times ( 7-9 February 2022) to create an event tailored to addressing current challenges as well as a wide range of technologies which promise significant efficiency gains without compromising safety.
User Survey
In these unprecedented times, exploration and development businesses are facing a multitude of simultaneous challenges – maintaining profitability in a low oil price environment, further reduction in budgets and at the same time, adjusting to significant changes to the way we work. All this while continuing to deliver wells that are operationally safe, and energy efficient with minimum environmental footprint.
A significant part of any well delivery budget is taken up by well construction costs. Throughout the well planning and delivery process multidisciplinary teams are tasked with finding solutions to meet these challenges. As geoscientists and engineers, we can influence how we apply processes, utilise available resources, as well as the use of technologies to minimise well construction cost and maximise value.
This workshop will bring together specialists from across the disciplines from IOCs, NOCs and service providers as well as academic and independent researchers involved in early well planning through to delivery to identify key factors that play a role delivering wells in a safe, timely and cost effective manner:
The format of the workshop is designed to deliver at least 5 key actions/takeaways through an interactive and integrated learning and sharing environment, with opportunities to network through a blend of keynote speakers, panel discussions, technical presentations, posters, plenary discussion, and breakout sessions.
